Women in Austin can see Leticia Vargas, MD, OB/GYN, by secure video for menopause care, hormone therapy (HRT) and medical weight loss, while in Texas. Yaso Wellness Health Clinic has no Austin office. Our only clinic is in San Antonio, about 80 miles south on I-35, for anything that needs an in-person exam.
Yes, if hormone therapy is a safe fit for you. Your first video visit covers your symptoms, periods, health history, family history of breast cancer, blood clots and stroke, and the medicines you take. The Menopause Society says that for healthy women under 60, or within 10 years of menopause, the benefits of hormone therapy for bothersome hot flashes generally outweigh the risks. Risks still exist, and not everyone is a candidate. Prescriptions go to the Austin-area pharmacy you choose.
If you have hot flashes, night sweats or poor sleep, you are not alone. In Travis County, about one in three adults reports short sleep, and night sweats can make that worse. Treating them may help some women sleep better.
Yes. Our 12-week medical weight loss program works by video, with check-ins that fit around a workday downtown or a commute on MoPac. If you meet the FDA label, Dr. Vargas may discuss an FDA-approved GLP-1 medicine, along with its boxed warning about thyroid C-cell tumors and its side effects, such as nausea. Medicine is never a stand-alone fix and is not for everyone.
Some care can't be done on video, like a Pap smear or pelvic exam. Austin is close enough that many women choose to drive down I-35 for an in-clinic visit in San Antonio. Women in Kyle, Buda and San Marcos are even closer. You can also keep seeing your local gynecologist for exams while using telehealth for hormone or weight care. We can share notes with your other doctors if you ask.
Does Yaso Wellness have a clinic in Austin? No. We see Austin-area women by telehealth only. Our clinic is in San Antonio.
Can I do a visit from my office in Austin? Yes, if you are in Texas and in a private spot where you can talk openly.
Do I need to come to San Antonio for my first visit? Not usually for menopause or weight care, but it depends on your health. Dr. Vargas will tell you if an exam is needed.
What if I live in Round Rock, Pflugerville or Cedar Park? Telehealth works the same anywhere in Texas.
